It's confusing so here goes:
- If the father's father's name is John Smith and has a son they call John Smith Jr., then it makes the son's father John Smith, Sr.
- If John Smith Jr., has a son and calls him John Smith, Jr., then it's 'John Smith Jr. II, but if John Smith Jr., calls his son Timothy Smith then there is no Jr. II behind it. Junior is only applied when the first and last name is the same of the father of the child.

Sir names 1st Senior second Junior third the third when is it ever the second?
I am a 2nd and not a junior. I have the same name as my Grandfather. If I were to have the same name as my father I would be a junior. If I give my son the same as myself he would be a junior and a 3rd.
If I name my son after his father but he has both his and my last name is he still considered a junior?
If the son's name is exactly the same as his father's (first, middle and last) then he may be called "Junior", or he could use "the Second" if he prefers. There is no requirement that he use either suffix.
What if i put jr on my son's birth certificate instead of the second?
Yes, you can call your son "Junior" if you are the 2nd. Your son would also be also the 3rd. Presumably your father, the 1st, is no longer living so you are the "Senior." If your father is the 1st and is still living, then he is the "Senior" and you are the "Junior." You and your son cannot both be "Junior" at the same time.
Does first name have to be after father in order to be junior?
Junior is used to distinguish a father from son when their names are completely identical.
Father clayton lancing son clayton Adam granson clayton david is son junior or the second and the grandson the third?
The son "Clayton Adams" would not be a Junior or the Second. The Grandson "Clayton David" would not be the 3rd. And the reason for this is because in order for the son to be name a Junior or 2nd he would have to be named after his father which he is not. And the grandson would have to be named after his grand father and father as he is not. Yes,they may all share the same FIRST NAME,but they all three have DIFFERENT MIDDLE NAMES. In order to name Clayton Lancing's son Clayton Adams a Junior or 2nd,Clayton Adams middle name would also have to be Lancing as well as Clayton David to be the 3rd.
